A Kyrgyz Apostille is a certificate that is affixed to a public document. It certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Kyrgyzstan and confirms the capacity of that official.

Kyrgyz Apostille stamps are often required when submitting a Kyrgyz document, such as a birth certificate, to the authorities of a foreign country or to a foreign embassy in Kyrgyzstan (for example, as part of a visa or citizenship application). Apostilles are recognised by the authorities and embassies of countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention

Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Kyrgyz document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit a Kyrgyz birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized.

Legalizing a document in Kyrgyzstan certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Kyrgyzstan and confirms the capacity of that official.

• Because Kyrgyzstan is a member of the Apostille Convention, Kyrgyz documents can be legalized by means of an Apostille Stamp when being submitted to countries that are also members of the Hague Apostille Convention
• If a Kyrgyz document is required for a country that is not a member of the Apostille Convention, it will need to be legalized both by Kyrgyz authorities and by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Kyrgyzstan or non-resident embassy accredited to Kyrgyzstan).
